Wicked! I'd love to see more fediverse software adopting this, and ideally an FEP written up for how to do it.

There’s not much about the ActivityPub protocol involved.. just making a server with a switch in front to choose which database you’re reading from.

@silverpill might correct me on this, but I don't think FEPs necessarily need to be about the AP protocol itself. They can also be about ways to standardise quality-of-life improvements to AP software. Which BYOD support definitely counts as in my book.
